Arcade Disabled?

*atomik_sprout* · Oct 18, 2009, 06:18 PM

I was just on the arcade, not long ago--maybe about thirty/forty mins ago, now AO tells me the arcade has been disabled. Is there something wrong with the arcade?

Means that one of the admins disabled it. Nothing can really be done till they enable it.

Thing is we don't know how the hackers are getting control of the site, so somethings have been disabled till we can lock everything down.

Another thing I've noticed recently is that my scores are either being deleted or reset--it may have to do with the recent disabling of the arcade being in the same day as my earning said scores but, I doubt it. Considering that it's like the third time I've had to make another attempt at obtaining certain scores again.

Boo Hoo Atomik, They're just numbers.

ANYwho, the arcade is back up.

Closing.

To answer your first question I disabled it for a reason that answers your second question. I temporarily turned it off until we were absolutely sure we weren't going to get hacked again. I was going to give it about three days to determine that. Why? The answer to your second question. Scores are being deleted each time we're hacked because we have to restore an older version of the board. When this happens anything that was not present in the version of the board we restored to would be lost. That includes your arcade scores. I did it so people wouldn't have to get their scores back over and over again in the event that the hacks continued. It was only meant to be temporary. Next time instead of creating a whole thread for this maybe you should just ask me in a PM.
